Hélène Grimaud

Total Playing Time 1:20:19

. . . Grimaud has created carefully considered (and occasionally provocative) contexts . . . a very personal choice of repertoire which creates enlightening new echoes between works . . . in a series of interpretations that never fail to offer new perspectives on even the most familiar music. Highlights include her exquisite performance of Brahms's beautiful Waltz in A flat major and the thrilling first movement of Bartok's Third Piano Concerto.
